On Friday, July 20, "Emergence," the inaugural exhibit in the Great Hall, Springfield, VT held an opening reception. Here are a few photos taken by tapestry weaver, and TWiNE member Sarah Warren. You can see more information about the exhibit in the earlier post.

The Great Hall

This photo of the Great Hall gives a good idea of the space.

An excellent venue for exhibiting large works of art. You can just barely see Eve Pearce's and Betsy Wing's tapestries on the right side.

WHAT IS TAPESTRY?

Tapestry is an ancient hand weaving technique using discontinuous wefts. Small areas are woven using different colors to make images or patterns, as in theUnicorn Tapestries, Navajo rugs or Turkish kilim rugs. Contemporary tapestry weavers use the same time consuming techniques in their work.

TWiNE History

TWiNE was formed in 1991 to support contemporary tapestry artists, and to preserve and promote the ancient art of tapestry.
